Consider two products formed from reactant R in reactions for which: (a) Product P1 is thermodynamically more stable then product P2 ; and (b) The activation energy E, for the reaction leading to P2 is greater than that leading to P1. Draw a potential energy profile for the reaction in the plot below. R Reaction coordinate
